A prominent Pakistani supporter of President-elect Donald Trump Sajid Tarar, the other day, said that the Trump administration has no plans to “unfriend” Pakistan but its relations with India will be even closer than those of the Obama’s administration.
Tarar, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July and prayed for Mr Trump’s victory, will also address the prayer breakfast for the new president.
The ceremony will be held at Washington’s National Cathedral on Jan 21, a day after Trump takes oath as t he 45th president of the United States.

Former US presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and their wives, will be attending the ceremony.
Trump’s main opponent in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton, has confirmed that she would attend the inaugural ceremonies.
Mr Tarar said he was a “committed American and a committed Pakistani” and wanted to “do something to improve US-Pakistan relations”.
He noted that most Muslims in America, including Pakistanis, voted for Trump’s rival in the election. “That’s their democratic right but they should now accept the fact that Trump is the president,” said Mr Tarar.
